He also inherited a Scottish estate of some 50,000 acres and
Cawdor Castle
,
[3]
which is one of the locations of the Shakespeare play
Macbeth
.
[4]
In 2006, he launched a project called "New Future for Nairn", recalling that the town of
Nairn
had once been popular for seaside holidays and known as "the Brighton of the North". In 2007 came more detailed plans to develop 274 acres of land at Delnies, on the outskirts of the town, for new housing, a sports centre, and an arts centre.

[7]
- Lady Eleanor Campbell (born 2000)
[7]
- Lady Beatrice Campbell (born 2004)

In 2001, Lord Cawdor clashed with his stepmother,
Angelika Campbell, Countess Cawdor
, when she tried to have him evicted from the castle, so that she could continue to occupy it.
[4]
In 2005, he and his wife and children were living at Drynachan Lodge, an eight-bedroom hunting lodge by the River Findhorn.
[8]
In 2007, as "Earl Colin & Countess Isabella of Cawdor",
Vogue
listed the Cawdors among its best-dressed couples.
[9]
[10]
On 23 June 2013,
The New York Times
quoted Lord Cawdor's elder sister
Lady Liza Campbell
in an article which described male-preference
primogeniture
as a legacy form of sexism.
